I used to get similar vibes in Europe during the 'aughts.
I wasn't our gov't, I didn't personally invade Iraq without rational reason, I _dissented_. I didn't get angry at the rest of the world, I understood that sentiment. It wasn't fair to treat me with disgust over it, though I couldn't fault them.
We're just humans.
Of course all Russian citizens aren't "bad", but their gangster gov't is, and this is what happens.
I always thought the 'net would allow us to connect as normal people and get past the political rhetoric and just talk as fellow humans, establish some understanding and fellowship.
I was just tilting at windmills.

And the other hand, we (here in France, but also in US, germany etc) are not better: our gov't are also gangsters. (and don't even speak about china and various middle-east countries..)
